Something in the water; a search for the turn of the backwash

 Maria Kubysh & Fiona Williams, Across the mountain, 2011, dual-channel digital video, 4:01 

Across the mountain was made in collaboration with Maria Kubysh. It is a dual-channel video of footage shot simultaneously while walking 'up the mountain'. The footage does not progress very far, however, as the artists become increasingly involved in the moment – as oriented by the camera, the sun, and each other. The video was edited to synch to 'real-time', using the sound of birds, cars and the artists' conversation to link moments together. The work was installed in an entrance hallway, projected small-scale, from beneath two chairs in a coat rack space.
